title: [Concentrations of heavy metals in dust precipitation and estimate of the load status in the GDR. Results of a nation-wide study of 144 measuring points (1983-1988)].
abstract: The concentration of 17 elements in dust sediments from impacted and background regions of the GDR had been analysed by ICP. Measuring points with concentrations of Cadmium, Lead, Zinc, Copper, Chromium, or Vanadium above the 84.1-percentile of all measuring points are listed and ranked under public health aspects.
